Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design

Author: Ambrose Searle Hymnal: BWHT1899 #476 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design, Are framed upon Thy throne above, And every dark or bending line, Meets in the centre of Thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure, Poor mortals Thine arrangements view; Not knowing that they all are sure, And the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care, Though now they seem to roam uneyed, Are led and driven only where They best, and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way: But while they trust Thy guardian eye, Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favored soul shall meekly learn To lay her reason at Thy throne; Too weak Thy secrets to discern, I'll trust Thee for my guide alone. Amen. Topics: Providence; Trust In Providence Languages: English Tune Title: WELTON

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #477 (1899) Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform, He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and will break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain. God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Amen.

Thy way, O God, is in the sea

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: BWHT1899 #478 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea; Thy paths I cannot trace, Nor comprehend the mystery Of Thine unbounded grace. 2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense My captive soul surround; Mysterious deeps of providence My wondering thoughts confound. 3 As through a glass, I dimly see The wonders of Thy love, How little do I know of Thee, Or of the joys above! 4 'Tis but in part I know Thy will: I bless Thee for the sight; When will Thy Love the rest reveal In glory's clearer light? 5 With raptures shall I then survey Thy providence and grace; And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love and praise. Amen. Topics: God Infinite; Mystery; Providence; Reason Insufficient; Trust In Providence Languages: English Tune Title: BOYNTON

We follow Thee

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: BWHT1899 #479 (1899) First Line: Through good report and evil, Lord Lyrics: 1 Through good report and evil, Lord, Still guided by Thy faithful word,-- Our staff, our buckler, and our sword, We follow Thee. 2 With enemies on every side, We lean on Thee, the Crucified; Forsaking all on earth beside, We follow Thee. 3 O Master, point Thou out the way, Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray; Then in the path that leads to day We follow Thee. 4 Thou hast passed on before our face; Thy footsteps on the way we trace; Oh, keep us, aid us by Thy grace: We follow Thee! 5 Whom have we in the heaven above, Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love? Still in Thy love we onward move; We follow Thee! Amen. Topics: Christ Leader; Following Christ; Trust In Christ Languages: English Tune Title: CONTRITION

What our Father does is well

Author: Henry W. Baker; Benjamin Schmolk Hymnal: BWHT1899 #480 (1899) Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well: Blessed truth His children tell! Though He send for plenty, want, Though the harvest store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above. 2 What our Father does is well; Shall the wilful heart rebel? If a blessing He withhold In the field, or in the fold, Is He not Himself to be All our store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well; May the thought within us dwell; Though nor milk nor honey flow In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 4 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the Father, and the Son, And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be, Now, and through eternity! Amen. Topics: Consolation; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: KÜCKEN

God is the refuge of His saints

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #481 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints, When storms of deep distress invade, Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold Him present with His aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there; Convulsions shake the solid world: Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar, In sacred peace our souls abide; While every nation, every shore Trembles and dreads the swelling tide. 4 'Midst storms and tempests, Lord, Thy word Does every rising fear control; Sweet peace Thy promises afford, And well sustain the fainting soul. Amen. Topics: Courage; Faith Power of; Fear Dispelled; God Our Refuge; Strength; Trials Refuge in; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: WARD

How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: BWHT1899 #482 (1899) Lyrics: 1 How are Thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence, Their help Omnipotence. 2 Though by the dreadful tempest tossed High on the broken wave, They know Thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save, Nor impotent to save. 3 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to Thy will; The sea, that roars at Thy command, At Thy command is still, At Thy command is still. 4 In midst of dangers, fears and death, Thy goodness I'll adore; And praise Thee for Thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more, And humbly hope for more. 5 My life, while Thou preserv'st my life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And oh, may death, when death shall come, Unite my soul to Thee! Unite my soul to Thee! Amen. Topics: Courage; Fear Dispelled; God Our Guide; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: SWANWICK

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: BWHT1899 #483 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out by Thee; The changes that will surely come I do not fear to see: I ask Thee for a present ind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, That seeks for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, And a mind to blend with outward life While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. Amen. Topics: Faith Walking by; Fear Dispelled; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: SPOHR

Give to the winds thy fears

Author: John Wesley Hymnal: BWHT1899 #484 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismayed: God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves and clouds and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care be gone. 4 What though thou rulest not? Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 5 Thou seest our weakness, Lord, Our hearts are known to Thee; O lift Thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee! 6 Let us in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare; And publish, with our latest breath, Thy love and guardian care. Amen. Topics: Care; Courage; Fear Dispelled; God King; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: SCHUMANN

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Neumark Hymnal: BWHT1899 #485a (1899) Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move. 2 Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope with heart content To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; So do thine own part faithfully, And trust His word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee: God never yet forsook at need The soul that trusted Him indeed. Amen. Topics: Courage; Faith Blessedness of; Fear Dispelled; God Our Guide; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK
